1. About the Centre
Hope For Vulnerable Children Ministry is home away from home. The orphanage Centre was established to settle the street children, abandoned and neglected children, orphans without any care. Kasese town has many cases of vulnerable children who have ended up on streets or on cabbage places and gardens abandoned by their parents. The orphanage takes full responsibility of these children by providing medical care, food, education, clothing and beddings and shelter. Additional to that the orphanage centre also offers psychosocial support to reduce stigma associated with these children.
The orphanage centre would like people to sponsor a child, contribute towards shelter, medical care, education, clothing and beddings, food and general welfare.

6. Challenges
The orphanage centre faces challenges of feeding the children and it is even worse with the inflation hitting Uganda today, the children also lack what to dress and beddings, they need clothes, beddings, shelter and medical care. Remember a health child a health mind. These children are abandoned because their parents /guardians can not afford the basic needs, therefore ran away from responsibilities. Other children are born orphans for instance a child is born and a mother dies, then when the father marries other women, they are subjected to domestic violence and torture. Other children are abandoned by their parents for instance there was a boy from Bundibugyo district who had been abandoned by her mother at the market place and this boy ended in KaseseDistrict. He hardly know his home since he was still of an early age (6 years) .Such Children end up on street on absolutely nothing. The country has not done much for such children, it’s only the organizations that are trying to protect them and provide basic needs in an institutionalized setting. Apart from that children need a conducive environment for them to play and enjoy all their rights like their counter parts.
